About Me
italki teacher since Mar 9, 2021InterestsTravelBusiness & FinanceWritingTechArt
Hello, language enthusiasts! I bring a wealth of English & US cultural knowledge to the classroom. I have three degrees and have had many careers. Some vocations are software engineer, information systems auditor, radio intern, academic librarian, tax consultant, and, recently, CEO of a company located in Silicon Valley (heart of American innovation).
I am in the process of learning Portuguese so I can become a Brazilian citizen. I am also writing a guide for immigrants and illegal aliens coming to the US...
As for my entrepreneurial pursuits, I can simply say it like this: "I am learning about the fax machine and Linkedin simultaneously!"Me as a Teacher
Learning guarantee... If you are not 100% satisfied, I will refund your money.
I have a master's in library science and degrees in accounting and history. I have a Teach English certification from the International TEFL Academy. I teach English lessons in-person and here in Italki.
I also lived in Brazil for four years, so I understand immigrants...
I have taught library classes in academic libraries. I have tutored students on various platforms and in person.
I am the CEO of a business located in Silicon Valley (Silicon Valley Copy). It is a consulting, copy (writing to sell), advertising, propaganda, and web design company.My lessons & teaching style

Jay is a nice teacher. I was relaxed and nervous at the same time. I was relaxed because his advice/feedback was warm. I was nervous because he gave me real TOEFL question. I believe experiencing both feeling during class is very important. Jay can make it happen. Thank you!
